| 520 | |a The recent scandal involving Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church has led millions of individuals to evaluate the guilt or innocence of Bishop Long as well the significance of the black mega-church. This study examined the possible effects of a well-publicised scandal involving a black mega-church pastor on the mental health of African Americans within and outside of the church. To address this paucity in the research, over 3000 comments made by anonymous contributors on CNN's public website were analysed using a grounded theory methodology. The following five themes were identified: (1) Keep an Open Mind: "Most People Thrive on Negativity;" (2) Hypocrisy as Part of Religion: "They aren’t real Christians;" (3) Greed as Part of Religion: "Just in it for the money;" (4) Religion and/or Christianity as Problematic: "Christians scare the Jesus out of me;" and (5) Religious Leaders Actions are separate from Individuals’ Personal Faith and Their Relationship with God: "You don’t put your faith in a man." Narratives will be offered to support and illustrate each of these themes, and the implications for the mental health of African Americans will be discussed. | ||
